Capo 1
CAm
It's a series of bars, thrift stores and churches lining the streets
GFC
While women with gold crosses push kids into half-formed beliefs
Am
And if Lot was righteous, I think I'd rather not be
GFC
We lean on fences built from outdated morality
Am
It's a gang mentality, it's a dangerous thing
GF
They don't ask you to think, just to "repeat after me"
CAm
And assume you're too careless to look at it critically
GF
You'll stop progress if it contradicts what
GF
You're told to believe
CG
And I refuse to spend life on my knees
CAm
These billboards that flaunt these scare tactics
GF
Make me think you're only good if you're afraid of being punished
CAm
Every single Sunday, church bells wake me up
GF
But it's never enough to pull me out of bed
GFCGGFCGCAm
The church on Main Street has got its doors painted red, and I guess
GF
It's so the Angel of Death passes over it on its way to get gas
C
The church on Broad Street
Am
It's got a neon sign that says "Jesus, save me", and I guess
GFGF
It's so God can see from where he is in the cheap seats
CGGFCG
I refuse to spend life on my knees
FAmC
And I won't let somebody else, somebody else, somebody else
FAm
Somebody else, somebody else make my decisions for me
C
Make them for me
FAmC
If we're all just Christians or lions,
FAmC
I think I'd rather be on the side with sharper teeth
GF
I don't need saving
